Tim and Ben speculate about the budget of Rough Night going toward keeping Demi Moore stable on set, recalling her real 2012 whip-its seizure, and riff on the hollow, nihilistic lesson that nothing matters more than getting high, before signing off for room service.
- Tim jokes that most of Demi Moore's $20 million salary goes to drugs to keep her sedated in a chair.
- The 2017 film required medication because Moore needed constant supervision and guards outside her dressing room.
- Tim wonders why he hasn't been allowed to have a television show despite the industry's attempts.
- People associate working with Tim with risk because they don't know what he'll say next.
- Demi Moore suffered a seizure from a drug overdose in 2012 after doing whip-its.
- Most of the budget for Rough Night went to keeping Demi Moore from having a rough night.
- Someone with Moore's history of inhalant abuse—overdosing on whip-its to the point of seizure—will use any available substance.
- On set, someone had to literally stand between Demi Moore and computer cleaner to prevent her from using it.
- Tim argues that for Moore, no amount of awards or red carpet success compares to the high of nitrous oxide.
- He frames inhalant abuse as a coping mechanism for the meaninglessness of existence before the uncomfortable truth erodes your soul.
